Perrigo Pharmaceuticals Company
Standard Returns Policy
The following terms and conditions (“Terms”) are applicable only to returns of Perrigo’s Pharmaceutical Products (“Products”) to Perrigo Pharmaceuticals Company (“Perrigo”) by Purchasers (“Purchaser”) and are the only conditions applying to the return of Products, unless conveyed and consented to in writing by duly authorized personnel of Perrigo. This shall serve as the returns agreement effective April 6, 2006 (“Policy”):
Perrigo will generally accept returned Products in their original packaging with less than six (6) months of expiration dating pursuant to the Terms described below:
Direct Purchase Agreements
1. If the purchaser has executed a purchase agreement with Perrigo to purchase Perrigo products directly from Perrigo, Perrigo will accept returned Products from Purchaser whether the Products were purchased directly from Perrigo or Products were purchased through a wholesaler or distributor (“Wholesaler”).
2. A credit memorandum will be issued directly to the Purchaser, who returned eligible Products, which may only be exchanged for replacement Products or new Products. The only exception to this rule will be for Purchasers who make no purchases directly from Perrigo (making all purchases through a Wholesaler), in which case a check will be issued to Purchaser.
3. Product value will be based upon the lower of Wholesale Acquisition Cost (“WAC”) or the existing net contract price at the time the credit memorandum or check is issued (“Reimbursement Price”). If no contract price is in effect and WAC is not applicable, the product value will be the lowest price for the product as determined by Perrigo at the time the credit memorandum or check is issued (“Lowest Price”).
4. Credit memorandums cannot be issued to the Wholesaler who sold the Products unless the Products were returned directly by the Wholesaler.
No Direct Purchase Agreement
1. Purchasers, who have not executed a purchase agreement with Perrigo, to purchase Perrigo products directly from Perrigo, should return the product under the instructions and polices of the Wholesaler from whom they purchased the product.
2. In the event that the purchaser, who returned eligible Products, requests that credit be issued directly to the Wholesaler, the product value will be the lowest price for the product as determined by Perrigo at the time the credit memorandum is issued (“Lowest Price”).
3. Purchaser will obtain reimbursement directly from the Wholesaler.
GENERAL POLICY
1. Credit will be issued for Products returned up to twelve (12) months beyond the expiration date of the Products, with the exception of those items described below or those Products which otherwise fail to satisfy conditions set forth in this Policy.
2. Credit will be issued for partials based on an actual count of returned units as a percentage of the Reimbursement Price or the Lowest Price.
3. Purchaser retains title to all returned Products until Perrigo issues a corresponding credit memorandum.
4. Any right of Purchaser to reduce payments to Perrigo for returned Products may only be exercised following receipt by Purchaser of a properly issued credit memorandum.
5. If unable to determine an actual count of returned units, credit will be issued for partials as follows:

Replacement credit will include all reasonable and customary return shipping charges when authorized by Perrigo’s Accounts Receivable Department. Product shortages or damaged items must be reported within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt for credit to be issued.
